I saw the clip of Beta on the view and his groveling apology for being white and male. I can't express how disgusted I was with his pathetic performance. White leftists, this is not a good look. It won't make those of us un-privileged people like or respect you (I won't even start on how racist and sexiest his whole privilege thing is). We and other sane people will just view you with disdain, at best. And you are just announcing to the salivating SJW predator mob that you are fresh meat.
And his stupidity was in response to a vapid question from Meghan McCain about how no woman could get away with what Beta did. (No, she wasn't referring to his actual crimes but some stupid stuff he said or did.)
Meghan, women today get away with all sorts of inanity, in case you haven't been paying attention.
I feel like I always lose at least a few IQ points on the rare occasions I watch clips from The View.

Pretty much any information I see is from Twitter at this point (Like the Iranian lady dragged away by police yesterday for taking off her hijab). There are reports of general unrest, but due to the information embargo it's hard to get a good sense of what's going on.
The account that probably brings the most up-to-date info (or at least is a good starting point to find others to follow) is Jasmine Mohammed's @ConfessionsExMuslim. @Imamofpeace is also a good source of info. He's enough pro-Israel and pro-US that it's hard to tell if he's legit.

I am aware of the general unrest, but I am hoping for large-scale demonstrations...hundreds of thousands of Iranians in the streets. I think that tendency has been broken (for now) by the Mullahs and their thugs.

You don't have to use points. Painting in fragmented brush strokes of relatively pure primary colors you can allow the eye to do the blending. Done well, it creates an effective picture which gives the eye and mind lots to do while viewing. I find this technique very useful with water colors. Its the only way to paint with WC and produce paintings that can be enjoyed at a distance. Too many WC follow the British method of endless glazes which when viewed at a distance (10 feet) die to viewer.

I'm happy to have started this; Brett deserves it. Good fielder, but not truly great. The best game I ever attended was in the mid-70s in Baltimore, vs the Yanks. Brooks and Graig Nettles put on a "can you top this" show at 3rd. (The 2nd game, DeCinces played, and though not a bad fielder, he just wasn't in the same class.)
But yes, all around, Brett gets it for his era.

I've seen a number of current artists doing this. It is basically dabbing the colors rather than brush strokes. Basically bigger dots. It is effective. I prefer to carve with brushstrokes to create the illusion while presenting a dazzling jigsaw of different shapes and colors. A lot of failure and the one off success - but that is WC.

Corruption is not a failure of capitalism, it is a failure of all human systems. Nothing, from monarchy, to oligarchy, to councils of elders, to socialist states, to republics is or can be made immune to it.
The only defense against corruption is to make the use of any power depend on the agreement of competing interests, and make its users extremely accountable to others for its use and misuse.

CNBC was at a farmer show in central CA a while back. And the story was "farmers hurting cuz OrangeManBad". It was one of those Action 3 Live on the Scene type deals, and the anchorette picked people at random and asked them how they felt about the tariffs. expecting them all to go off on Trump. It was funny how every single farmer there basically said he's fine with taking a short term hit if it means long term better trade terms for the US. The look on her face was priceless.

Get any old-timer NRA member going, and you'll hear about how these things happen in cycles. There was a huge foofaraw in progress when they brought in Charlton Heston. The organization was about to disintegrate.
Ditto, mid-1970's. You NEVER hear, even here, about what "the real issues are." The competitions side, such as it is, has almost nothing in common with the lobbying/politics side. The Olympic shooting administration, now USA Shooting, only "broke away" (or "got expelled") a generation ago, blink of an eye in NRA years.
Other long-running organizations manage to cover their tracks a little better.

She told her Instagram audience, "I just went to the nail salon just so I can feel human. Nothing special, just trying to get some paint, cut my cuticles, whatever... My nails are getting painted, and the woman's like, 'Your eyebrows are too big for your face,' and I'm sitting there, and she's like, 'Mustache?' And I'm like [gasps]." AOC continued, saying, "First of all, I thought I came here to feel good about myself. Second of all, what if I like my mustache? Ever think about that?"

I get ticked at all the pseudo-compassionate blather about the "discomfort" and "distress" the condemned suffer in lethal injections. Every dog we've had to have put down got pretty much the same combination. None has ever so much as twitched during the last act. Sad, but peaceful.

Authorities announced Monday that nearly 100 people have been indicted in a massive conspiracy in which immigrants paid as much as $70,000 to briefly marry a U.S. citizen and obtain a permanent resident card known as a "Green Card."
The indictment, returned by a grand jury in Texas late last month, accuses 96 people of taking part in the Houston-based criminal organization, which created sham marriages between legal U.S. residents and aliens, mostly from Vietnam, for years.

Come on man. All sports is stupid if you really think about it.
I personally couldn't give less of a shit about the NFL or major league beisbol. But I also don't shit on people who do. If you like it watch, it. If you don't like it don't watch it. But why do some people feel the need to shit in other people's sports corn flakes? I will never get that.

"But the world watches it" Is not an argument in favor of it. Indeed, it's a great argument against.
The riotous mobs, murdering players and entire teams isn't a selling point either.

Two types of sports - team and individual. Team sports are more important today then when we were kids (cuz we played with other kids all the fucking time). Today's youts would sit on a sofa twiddling their Iphones and video games if left to their own. Team sports teach some real lessons for life as opposed to Grand Theft Auto. How to work with people you hate and win. Big lesson.

There was a video of a line of kickball players while the ref was spray-painting a line on the ground and sprayed one of them on the foot. He immediately fell to the ground writhing as if in pain.
Funny how I can't find that video anymore.
I prefer Monty Python's Great Philosopher kickball better.

Video games do teach some important things.
Shooters enhance reflexes and hand-eye coordination.
RPGs are a vehicle for telling heroic stories.
RTS games enhance multi-tasking.
Grand strategy games teach long-term planning.
Almost every type of game can teach patience, as jumping the gun and charging in unprepared is most often a recipe for disaster.
Gaming isn't bad in of itself. It's all a matter of what you play.

Why?
I played Euro Handball when I lived in Germany. It is actually quite fun. I am surprised that it hasn't caught on here. Just put kid sized soccer goals on a basketball court, grab a volleyball and have at.

Rugby will hurt you but you will grow stronger.
Swimming also makes you strong but you can die doing it...though you probably won't.

Add sporterized medieval combat to the list of worthwhile sports. Makes you stronger, increases your pain threshold beyond what you thought possible, and there's nothing quite like making someone's helmet ring like a bell.

I LOVED SCA fighting. But it requires a lot of equipment that's not easy to get ahold of or make.

Maybe thumb eye coordination Nah. I watch my son and his friends shooting in a video game. All I could say was if you do that in a real gun fight you're gonna be dead. They teach no tactics. The make believe you are a real gunfighter when real killing takes patience and firepower and a unit working as one.

Man in China detained after giving dogs 'illegal' names
The dog's names ended up attracting controversy because "Chengguan"
are officials employed in urban areas to tackle low-level crime, while
"Xieguan" are informal community workers such as traffic assistants,
according to the BBC.

Yep. Handball is a contact sport and therefore better than soccer.
What skills in baseball will a professional soccer player be able to excel at?
Maybe running bases. That's it.

But it damn sure is fun. It's a shame nobody has figured out how to make a professional sport out of it yet. Maybe 5v5 team elimination or something? Or just something like MMA with a number of 5-minute rounds and scoring based on number of hits?

WOW! Now it spreads to corrupt government banking regulators!
A former Danske Bank official who became Denmark's top banking regulator was one of those raided & arrested last week!

I heard years ago that ESPN covered an SCA event. Imagine The Ocho covering the Pennsic war; about 1700 combatants with siege engines on the field at a time.

The HHS Secretary, Margaret Heckler and the administration argued that it was silly to apply FDA standards to drugs that knowingly promoted death when injected. A death penalty drug by definition could never be "safe" from inflicting death and injury when given at levels that caused death.
Death penalty opponents were hoping to prohibit the lethal injection mode of execution with this gambit as prior problems with gas chambers, electric chair, and firing squads, let alone hanging, all had documented instances where they had gone awry. Thus, due to the 8th Amendment Cruel and Unusual clause, and the Supreme Court's 1950's opinion that made this a moving standard, the opponents hoped to end the death penalty by denying any means to the state to conduct executions.

I didn't say shooters teach tactics. Most of them are absolutely horrible in that regard. Turn-based tactical/strategy games like X-COM tend to be MUCH better for that. Cover, flanking, suppressing fire, etc. Those make all the difference.
